GEC Awards marked the official launch of the Global Technology Council (GTC), a neutral, high-impact global platform designed to unite technology vendors, system integrators, channel partners, policymakers, and innovators to jointly shape the future of technology, business, and society.
In an age of rapid disruption, technology no longer sits at the periphery; it is the foundation of human progress. The GTC emerges as a collaborative platform, bridging the full technology spectrum — from OEMs and hyperscalers to startups, integrators, and regulators — to co-create smarter, more sustainable futures.
“We founded GTC to transcend silos,” said Akashdeep Singh, Executive Director of GEC. “By bringing the full value chain together in a trusted environment, we accelerate responsible innovation, alignment, and real-world impact.”
GTC’s purpose is to become the world’s most influential ecosystem leadership platform, one that drives responsible innovation, sustainable industry practices, and inclusive digital transformation across borders.
Its core mission pillars include:
- Policy & Advocacy: shaping global standards and responsible tech frameworks
- Strategic Alliances: forging partnerships that accelerate innovation and market access
- Innovation & Knowledge: curating research, insights, and trend foresight
- Leadership & Talent: nurturing future-ready leaders through mentorship and collaboration
Programs & platforms
To bring its mission to life, GTC will deploy:
- Global Technology Council Summit — an annual gathering of global tech decision-makers
- Innovation Vanguard Awards — recognizing excellence in ecosystem leadership and collaboration
- Regional Leadership Forums & Roundtables — focused engagements on regulation, challenges, and growth
- Partner Marketplace & Technology Alliance Program (TAP) — a digital hub for connecting innovators, investors, and implementers
GTC operates under a dual-structure model:
- The Global CIO Forum (demand side) unites enterprises, digital leaders, and buyers
- The Global Technology Council (supply side) brings together vendors, integrators, and the technology ecosystem
Why GTC matters
- Neutrality & Trust: A non-partisan platform that fosters open dialogue and collaboration
- Outcome Focus: Not just ideas, but real projects in AI, cloud, cybersecurity, digital infrastructure
- Ecosystem Strength: Connecting builders and buyers through cross-border partnerships
- Regional & Global Reach: Working across geographies to harmonize innovation and regulation
